what I was into–october/november edition

what I read:

I’m not sure what took me so long to start reading Divergent – well, I am sure. It’s the fact that it’s a dystopian society young adult novel – but I loved the first two books. I think the story is better than The Hunger Games, but the writing definitely leaves a little to be desired. I’m done with books 1 and 2. I’ve heard very mixed reviews of the last book, but I’m eager to finish the series.

I read two Sophie Hannah books: Kind of Cruel and Little Face. I very much enjoyed both of them. They’re very similar, and I found them to be the perfect sort of reading when what I want to be is entertained.

Funnily enough, most of the new stuff I like this year has come in the form of sitcoms. I am VERY picky about my sitcom watching, but I really enjoyed even the more traditional ones from this year. Namely, Brooklyn Nine Nine (the hub’s fav), The Michael J. Fox Show, and Trophy Wife. I know, I know. Trophy Wife has the most horrendous name and terrible premise. But it’s hilarious. I promise.

In the drama portion, we are loving The Blacklist. We’ve missed Alias immensely, and this totally fills that void. I hang my head in shame to tell you that I also love Reign. Admittedly, I began watching because I have an emotional attachment to the show. (Anne of Green Gables!) I just found myself sucked in. To another CW show. Shame shame shame.

My list is a bit sparse. My fall has been a little crazy, but I’m glad to finally be getting this done today. And as always, I’m linking up with Leigh! She’s celebrating one year of link-ups and hosting a giveaway. Write your list and join the fun!
